The trees, mostly kahikatea, seem to our English eyes of stupendous proportions, but we are told they grow much bigger in many other parts.

This timber is known in all the provinces, except Otago, by the native name of `kahikatea'.

It was a canoe seventy feet long, five broad, and three deep; the prow raised like that of a Venetian gondola, and the whole hollowed out of a trunk of a kahikatea.

On the purchased land stands, or lately stood, a small kahikatea bush.
